Creation of a Configuration Profile 

Use

You can use the modeling environment for Variant Configuration to create a configuration profile for the material.

Integration

A configurable material can have several configuration profiles, which are displayed in the model tree. If a configuration profile already exists, you cannot add a further profile in the modeling environment.

Activities

...

       1.      Select the material in the model tree and use the context menu to create the configuration profile.

If you choose the BOM Must Be Exploded option, you can specify the application for which the BOM is exploded. See also Control of the BOM Explosion.
